This centre lies just below th Majella, the "Lady of the Apennins", in the wide, beautiful valley of the Verde river, whose waters are used to make the good world-famous pasta. Beautiful grottos are all over the territory.
Archeological remains of the roman period show that the territory was already inhabited 2000 years ago. The name "Fara" is of Lombard origin and means "borough". Then in the X century Bendectine monks colonized the area and founded the monastery of St. Martino in Valle, from which comes the latter part of the name of the village.
